"I can't stand it, it's hilarious! The head of the Kaslana family almost lost a fight he challenged to. It's really funny to hear about this!"
Francis's face darkened further, but he dared not make a move. One reason was Luo Chen's status, and the other was that he truly couldn't defeat this monster who was on par with his ancestor.
"By the way, I want to talk to you about something."
After laughing enough, Luo Chen remembered that he had important things to do, so he patted Francis on the shoulder and told him to move closer to him.
"what's up?"
"I'll send Karen on a long trip in a few days. I have something I need her to do."
"How far is Yuanmen?"
Francis didn't agree yet; he needed to find out first, otherwise he wouldn't feel comfortable letting Karen go out.
"Hmm...probably in the central part of China."
As Luo Chen spoke, he took the black box out of the imaginary space and casually tossed it on the ground.
"This is……!"
Francis jumped off the chair, staring incredulously at the black box. He knew about this thing, but he never expected Luo Chen to have stolen it.
"Why did you steal this too?"
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you call something a scholar does stealing? That's clearly burglary!"
Luo Chen was perfectly justified; this thing would be his sooner or later, and he was just returning it to its rightful owner sooner.
"So you're saying you want Karen to take this thing on a long trip?"
Francis's expression was extremely serious at this moment, a stark contrast to his previous frivolousness. This matter could not be handled carelessly, or Karen might be in danger.
“That’s right, I need her to take the black box to Mount Taixu to find Immortal Chiyuan and have her deal with it.”
Why don't you go by yourself?
Francis wanted to refuse on the spot, not because he didn't trust Luo Chen, but because this matter was really too dangerous. Taking this thing, which was like a time bomb, so far away, who knew if something would go wrong halfway.
"If I could go, wouldn't I have gone myself?"
Luo Chen shrugged. In order to ensure that he could successfully lure Karen to Yae Village, he had no choice but to tell a lie.
Francis circled the black box a few times, looking at this ominous object that gave him a sense of danger, and hesitated whether to agree to Luo Chen's request.
"Don't worry, I'll take some safety precautions for Karen when she sets off."
Luo Chen patted his chest and assured him. Francis thought about it and finally nodded in agreement. After all, Luo Chen was Karen's teacher and would definitely not harm her.
Chapter 261 Can we please stop with the PDA?
"Otto, what are you doing?"
Luo Chen pushed open the door to Otto's laboratory and saw him adjusting a potion on the lab table. He immediately stopped Karen from greeting him loudly.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Karen peeked out from behind Luo Chen and saw Otto preparing medicine. Curious, she went over to him.
"Otto, what are you doing?"
"The Black Death may mutate further, and I am enhancing the efficacy of the original medicine so that more people can be saved."
Otto looked at the purple liquid in the test tube, unsure of the drug's effectiveness, and was wondering who to have test it when Luo Chen took the medicine and drank a sip.
By the time Otto realized what was happening, Luo Chen had already drunk a third of the test tube. Otto was so frightened that he let out a sharp crack and snatched the test tube, staring at Luo Chen.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"I'm helping you test the medicine. It works quite well, about twice as strong as the original."
Luo Chen carefully evaluated the changes in the Honkai energy within his body. The Black Death was essentially a form of Honkai, and the treatment was somewhat related to eliminating Honkai energy.
"Well... alright. I'll go write down the prescription."
Otto put the test tube back on the shelf, took out a piece of paper and wrote down the prescription. Karen looked at the medicine in the test tube, then at Otto writing furiously, and nodded with satisfaction.
"As expected of Otto, he's still inventing many amazing things, just like when he was a kid. Isn't that right, great inventor?"
Otto paused for a moment, his hands moving, after being praised by Karen. A drop of ink fell onto the paper, and he had no choice but to blush and rewrite on a different sheet.
"I can't stand it anymore! Why do I have to watch you two lovebirds showing off your affection here?!"
Luo Chen now felt an urge to gouge his own eyes out. Over the years, Otto and Kallen had always been intentionally or unintentionally showing off their sweetness, and he had probably shown off countless bowls of dog food himself.
"Mei, Bianca, Yuno, I miss you."
Luo Chen sat in the chair, feeling emo. He hadn't seen them for eleven years. He wondered how they were doing now. Had they even crossed the end?
"It's awful. How much longer do I have to stay in this wretched place?"
Luo Chen spoke softly. Seeing that Luo Chen was in low spirits, Karen went out of the laboratory, picked up some snacks from the living room table, and then came back in to hand them to Luo Chen.
"Teacher, have some snacks, it will cheer you up."
"You Kaslana family really know how to think of anything to eat."
Luo Chen said that, but he picked up a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. One wasn't enough, so he picked up another.
"Really? Teacher, have you met any other Kaslana people besides my father and his family?"
"Yeah, one of my best female friends is also from the Kaslana family. That girl is a complete idiot, all she thinks about is eating and playing. Or maybe she tricked your teacher's wife away from me and dragged her around everywhere. And you have no idea how stupid she is. For example..."
Luo Chen talked on and on, and not only did Kallen listen with great interest, but Otto, who had finished copying the prescription, also came over to listen to Luo Chen's rant about a certain paramecium of the end.
"Teacher, you seem to have a very good relationship with this member of the Kaslana family. But are you really sure she's not one of our teachers' wives?"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, Otto spoke up. Luo Chen had been referring to his female friend the whole time, but the more Otto listened, the more uneasy he felt. This female friend seemed to have ulterior motives towards his teacher!
"How could that be? How could she possibly like me? She even tried to steal your master's wife from me back then."
Luo Chen crossed his arms. It can only be said that those involved are often blinded while bystanders see things clearly. So many chapters have passed, and our Luo Xiaochen has only doubted Kiana's feelings for him once. The rest of the time, he still thinks that guy is that silly guy who is infatuated with Mei.
'Well, is the teacher made of wood? How could they not have noticed?'
Otto was puzzled. He had three mistresses, so logically Luo Chen shouldn't have not noticed.
It can only be said that Otto is still too young. He never expected that the woman would be the one to go first all three times. Otherwise, given Luo Chen's personality, he wouldn't have been able to become good friends with them and go through the final stages of their relationship.
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. My affairs are none of your business, you two brats."
Luo Chen gave each of them a chop to the neck, ending the conversation. Otto helplessly shrugged, realizing he couldn't help Luo Chen with his love life (are you sure?).
"Karen, do you remember everything I told you yesterday?"
After Luo Chen finished his discussion with Francis yesterday, he told Karen about it. At first, Karen was hesitant, doubting whether she could complete the task. But Luo Chen persuaded her quite a bit before she finally agreed.
"I understand, teacher. When do I leave?"
Karen was already quite impatient. She was very curious about what delicious food Shenzhou had to offer. Although Luo Chen always cooked Shenzhou dishes, she wanted to try other flavors.
"Let's wait a few days. The investigation by Tianming is quite strict. We'll leave when they loosen up, and you'll need to come up with a reason."
"It's alright, I'll handle it."
Otto spoke up, saying he would handle this matter, and Karen would only be responsible for completing the tasks given by Luo Chen.
"Alright then. But Otto, Karen's gone for months, won't you feel lonely?"
With the important matters settled, Luo Chen was about to get to work. Karen would be gone for at least half a year, and if things went wrong during that time, she might disappear without a trace.
“Yes, Otto, I want to know too.”
Karen agreed, and seeing Otto standing there with his arms crossed and motionless, she went over and poked his elbow with her finger.
"Would you be happy if I said yes?"
"Of course!"
Karen nodded, hugged Otto's arm, and smiled brightly. Their intimate gesture made Otto blush, and he turned his head away, unable to look at Karen.
"Otto, I never knew you were such an innocent young man."
Luo Chen put one hand on his hip and found it amusing to look at Otto's embarrassed appearance. Compared to the future Otto who always had a fake smile, the current Otto, with his expressive face, was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Teacher, please don't make fun of me."
Otto covered half his face, and Karen blinked at Otto's bright red ears, as if she had discovered something amusing, and blew air into his ear.
"Karen, what are you doing?"
Otto trembled with fear. He was so elegant and composed in front of outsiders, but his true colors were revealed when he was in front of Karen and Luo Chen.
"I can't take it anymore, if you two keep showing off your love, I'm leaving."
Luo Chen made a move to leave the room, but Otto told Karen to let go of his hand and pressed down on the door to prevent Luo Chen from leaving.
"Teacher, please stop being so temperamental. You're a grown man."
"What's wrong? No matter how old I am, I'm still a person!"
Luo Chen rolled her eyes at him. Although she was over thirty, it didn't stop her from having a young heart. Besides, Kevin and Fu Hua were both over fifty, yet sometimes they acted like children.
"Besides, I'm not that much older than you, so what's wrong with me throwing a tantrum?"
Luo Chen spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, but Otto gave him an expression that said, "You win, so you're in charge," which made Luo Chen feel like he was just being perfunctory.
"Alright, as long as you're happy, teacher."
